The anterior surface of the handle of this Georgian silver ladle is embellished with impressive flat engraved stylised opposing scrolling leaf decoration accented with a vacant cartouche to the terminal.

This fine example of antique flatware has an impressive shell shaped bowl.

The ladle is ornamented with a flat engraved shell decorated heel to the reverse of the bowl.

* This feature is a distinctive characteristic of Irish silver serving pieces in the eighteenth century. As the name suggests the end of the stem/handle turns back to allow the piece to be suspended securely.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
